Circe Perfume Oil — a fragrance with a mythological character
Aether Arts Perfume Circe is a perfume oil released in 2019 by the American niche house Aether Arts Perfume.
This unisex fragrance has an aquatic, green and floral profile, where the freshness of sea air meets spicy-aromatic herbal nuances and a distinctive woody base.
The composition was created by Amber Jobin, the brand's founder and perfumer who defines its creative direction.
The philosophy of Aether Arts Perfume is built around experimentation, unusual combinations and the desire to move beyond the boundaries of conventional fragrance aesthetics. Circe therefore feels like a self-contained olfactory story rather than simply another take on a fresh fragrance.
The name Circe refers to the powerful heroine of ancient mythology, and this mood is reflected in the character of the perfume.
It does not try to be a carefree marine cologne: green and mineral nuances give it focus, flowers soften the composition, and cypress adds a cool, slightly mysterious depth.
At the opening, the fragrance smells fresh, green and unusual.
Canadian fleabane, lovage, tomato leaf and a marine accord create the impression of damp vegetation by the shore, where salty coolness, herbal sap and sunlit transparency mingle in the air.
This opening will especially appeal to those looking for an unconventional alternative to standard citrus and aquatic compositions.
As the fragrance develops, rose and jasmine emerge in the formula.
The floral heart does not make the fragrance sweet or overtly romantic. Instead, it adds roundness and a lively texture while preserving its cool, natural and slightly wild character.
As a result, Circe suits both women and men who prefer expressive fragrances without strict gender labels.
Circe is described as having very strong sillage, so its oil formula should be approached as a rich perfume accent.
No precise guidance on the amount to apply to skin or clothing is provided. However, when getting acquainted with the fragrance, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and observe how it develops on your own skin.
This cautious approach will help preserve the composition's beautiful character and avoid excessive intensity.
The fragrance is well suited to cool spring and summer weather, especially when you want to emphasize your individuality: during a walk by the water, on a trip, at a creative event or for an evening gathering.
Circe may appeal to those who appreciate mineral, green and marine notes but expect more than sporty lightness from them: a noticeable character and good longevity.
For further exploration, consider Eisenberg Tentation, as well as Tiziana Terenzi Arethusa and Clean Ultimate Beach Day.
They do not fully replicate Circe, but they help explore neighboring directions: floral, marine and fresh compositions with varying degrees of softness and expressiveness.
Other concentrations of Circe are not listed in the available data.
